Re: [Libvir] PATCH: Fix qemu-dm path in capabilities info

The current Xen capabilities XML data chooses between

This is incorrect because the path is actually determined based on the host
OS. Only x86_64 uses /usr/lib64, all other arches just use /usr/lib - even
on ia64. So this patch changes the logic so that /usr/lib64 is only used if
we see an x86_64 guest present - this implies host is x86_64 and that all
guests whether 32 or 64bit shoudl use /usr/lib64
Actually Debian uses /usr/lib too on all architectures (in fact I'm not
sure which other Linux systems use /usr/lib64 - it's very peculiar to
Red Hat).
However Debian symlinks /usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib, presumably for
compatibility with whoever thought using /usr/lib64 was a good idea in
the first place. Unix managed to transition from 16 to 32 bits without
adding '*32' everywhere, I'm not sure why this time is different ...
